How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.2 dlm-kmp-default to version 5.3.18-24.75.3 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream dlm-kmp-default package and not the dlm-kmp-default package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.2 relevant fixed versions and status.

fs/seq_file.c in the Linux kernel 3.16 through 5.13.x before 5.13.4 does not properly restrict seq buffer allocations, leading to an integer overflow, an Out-of-bounds Write, and escalation to root by an unprivileged user, aka CID-8cae8cd89f05.
